A-Wing

I've also got some work on my 1/72 A-Wing done.

I've had to sand the fron area a ton to make it thinner. It was way to round and bulbous (spelling?)

I've also removed the top detail around the back of the cockpit so I could accurately scribe this area. I also have puttied around the sides of the cockpit cause the panels there weren't very symetrical.

Woops... Recap

I fell behind again :( Anyways, here's the latest work.

I've removed most of the detailing on the main hull and have filled in allot of the innacurate panel lines. I still have a loooong ways to go though.

I've painted my Sullustian pilot and I've removed the canopy glass that I screwed up on. I still have allot of work to do in this area too.

In this area, I've filled in the recessed panels again so that I can add the accurate and raised ones.

B-Wing work

Today I chisseled off the random details on the enging house on my B-Wing. They were very innacurate. The MPC kit was more accurate in this area! Now don't get me wrong... I love Mr. Wong's work and I believe he's up there with the modelling gods but he must not have been able to find enough reference for this part or something.

I also chopped off the head of my StudioStarforge Sullustian and put it on a rebel pilot.

Not sure if you can see in this picture, but my sullustian has a nasty bubble in his ear. I guess I'll be puttying him up a bit too. The other sullustian that came with the set had a bubble for a face. All the detail of the face was there but if it was touched then it'd cave in.

However... the rest of my StudioStarforge figures are top-notch and completely bubble free. I guess I just got some bad ones.

I got the magnet into the back of the cockpit today. The ugly pitted area will not be visible when finished. The magnet I used is VERY strong. I can hold it by the cockpit and the body piece won't fall.

Cockpit Progress...

Tonight is just another quick update... I was trying to cast some clear parts tonight for my Slave 1 (which still isn't finished) so I didn't get allot done on other stuff.

I DID however get the cockpit of my B-Wing primed and glued in. Just needs a figure now :)


Once again... keep in mind that this cockpit is about the size of the top part of you thumb. It looks so much cleaner in person. (really not trying to brag...)

3/7 Y-Wing Cockpit

These pictures seem to bring out every little flaw. Keep in mind that this is TINY.

Sorry about the lack of updates. Been sick, then busy, then in california... ANYWAYS... Thought I'd show what's changed since the last update.

I've taken a quick break from my B-Wing AND T-16 (I always have about 3-4 projects going at once) Today's update show's the work on my Fine Molds Y-Wing cockpit. The figure is from Studio Star forge. It's VERY VERY nice! If you haven't bought a set yet then order one right now.

2/15 Nothing new to report...

I've been VERY sick for the last week with severe bronchitis. Not a fun experience at all. I've got the t-16 all puttied up and sanded so hopefully I'll be able to show some work on it once I'm feeling better.

2/5/2008 Nothing new to report...

Over the last few days I've only been working on my Fine Molds Slave 1. I REALLY want to get this done before the end of the week.
Today I received my T-16 Skyhopper from Fantastic-Plastic Models. This is a VERY nice kit :) I think I'll be able to knock this one out this weekend since it doesn't seem to need much work.

So it looks like it'll be around a week or so before I get another update on the B-Wing.
